Re: sending binary data with XML - update

I have found out two things since last:
1. When I do the same thing in VB as on the web page, the translation from
binary to hexadecimal goes correctly. In ASP I'm using VBScript, and this
suggests that it has to do with differences between VB and VBScript.

2. The data is corrupted before it is sent to the next page.

I'm suspecting the problem has to do with lack of strong types in VBScript,
but would really appreciate if anyone could point to a solutiion.
